I studied epidemiology and public health. Population data analysis was heavily required with
statistical tools: SAS, SPSS, Excel, SQL Server, etc. The statistic you posted is an aggregate for
both males and females. The OP was a woman. The further decomposition of statistical data to
her gender reveals that Denver is a far greater place of "dating odds" than Phoenix.

I am from Arizona and lived in Denver/Boulder for four years. Denver is joked by women as "Menver"
because the men clearly outnumber the women. A local bar scene on Friday night in Denver would
reveal men heavily outnumbering women. The outdoor culture and mountains also are male-oriented.
So a woman in her 30s would be in a prime dating pool in Denver.

By contrast, Phoenix and Tempe tend to have an inverse ratio. There are more women than men in
ratio by far. For many years ASU was known to have far more females than males. In recent
years that gap closed, but the legacy alumnae are still in the area as yuppies. So as a guy I am
excited about that. I moved back to Phoenix two weeks ago from FL. I love it here.

But women would face far more competition from young female ASU graduates in this area. Denver
would be better for the OP.

Wow, they've really taken that to an extreme. Data rules every aspects of our lives these days.

Wow, thanks for this analysis, grad_student200! Good luck in Phoenix/Tempe!
